I guess you could say I've started the adoption nesting more formally - even though we don't have a referral just yet. Nate's bed was moved into the big brother room last weekend - but not the rest of the furniture. we inherited a lot of antiques from my mom and grandma's antiques the last few years - but all had been in storage. well I figured may as well use it now - sell the stuff we don't need on Craig's list - so with the help of my brother (thanks to Marcus) - we moved another dresser - my childhood dresser - this huge thing into our room (attic) this afternoon. the house is an absolute disaster as I've got 4 dressers - two we moved downstairs and two heavy antiques up - so trying to put stuff out of and into new drawers and get things set up. THEN I have to move Nate's stuff into his one of these days as well - probably as the week goes on - ha!
we will get that. but just lots of fond memories of the new dressers in our room - its tight in this sloped ceiling room - but beautiful. Nate's excited as well.
and then on a side note - Craig had a dream - his1st adoption dream - last night - that we were in Ethiopia in our "whatever" - lodge I'm assuming - and just trying to find his morning coffee and to get a paper - so it was his dream of trying to go outside a compound/building and get all that and them wanting to escort him - no little guy in there - but at least he's dreaming about it.
Now we just have to pray a referral comes soon and we can figure out all the rest of the stuff to make it happen. and pray that our family really and truly accepts this child as OURS - I have a lot of doubts with some of them - they seem to say the right thing to us - but we'll see.
hang in there everyone - we're all moving up that list.
